8 Claims. (01. 215-79) This invention relates to new and usefulimprovements in a liquid pourer.

The invention has for an object the construction of an article asmentioned which is characterized by a bottle stopper provided with apouring spout, and advertising buttons mounted upon the pouring spout ina novel fashion.

Still further the invention contemplates the arrangement of a framemounted upon the side 1 of the spout and a member supported on saidframe for supporting said buttons.

Still further this invention contemplates the provision of a plate tocomprise said member, said plate to be equipped with an opening throughwhich said advertising buttons may besupported.

Furthermore as another object of this invention it is proposed toprovide an air tube in conjunction with the pouring spout and to arrangethe tube as to" constitute the frame for supporting the support platewhich in turn supports the advertising buttons.

As another object of this invention it is also proposed to provide anarrangement whereby the support plate may be removably held in positionwhen the advertising buttons are engaged there- Still further theinvention proposes the construction of an article as mentioned which issim-@ ple and durable and which may be manufactured and sold at areasonable cost.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects andadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the following descriptionand accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which thevarious novelfeatures of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part or this disclosure:-

w of another type taken on the line The liquid pourer according to thisinvention 76 comprises a bottle stopper 10 adapted to be engaged in theneck of a bottle. A pouring spout 11 extends through the stopper 10 fromthe bottom edge thereof and projects materially above the top. Thisspout 11 is slightly bent laterally 80 so as to aid in its pouringability. A frame 12 (or tube as hereinafter explained) is mounted uponthe side of the spout 11 and is adapted. to

hold a support plate 13 in turn adapted to hold advertising buttons 14.The frame 12 in addition to merely being a frame constitutes a tubewhich also extends through the stopper 10 and terminates at the end 15materially below the bottom of the stopper. The purpose of this tube isto provide for the passage of air from the atmosphere into the bottom.The exceptional length of this air tune is for the purpose to extendabove the liquid through the spout 11.

A collar 16 is mounted upon the upper end of 96 the air pipe 12 andhingedly supports a cover 17 for the spout 11. This cover is so arrangedthat normally it closes the end of the spout, but when the bottle isinclined during the pouring of the liquid due to gravity this coverswings to an open 100 position to allow the passage of the liquidthrough the spout 11 from the bottle, and airthrough the tube or intothe bottle. The support plate 13 comprises merely a plate which isplaced between the air tube 12 (or frame) and one side of the spout 11.This plate may be held in place by solder, brazing or other similararrangements.

The plate 13 is provided with a central opening 18 and the advertisingbuttons 14 are adapted to be secured upon the plate by reason of this '2opening. In Fig. 15-a detail is shown of themanner in which theadvertising buttons are enthe collar 16. The cover gaged upon the plate.It should be noticed that a pair of these buttons are used, on oppositesides of the plate, one of these buttons being provided with a smallprojection through the opening engaging the other button. Theconstruction is of the snap type so that the buttons may be snapped inplace and removed. similarly from place. A cotter pin 19 is shownengaged upon the free end of the air tube 12 clamped. upon the collar 16and constitutes a hinge for the cover 17.

In Fig. 5 another embodiment of the liquid pourer has been disclosedwhich is very similar to the preferred form and corresponding parts maybe recognized by the identical reference numerals. This type of pourerdistinguishes in the provision of a frame 12'. .It is merely of.

a different shape than the frame so as to be adapted to accommodate thebuttons 14. distinguishing from the buttons 14 also in shape.

More particularly the buttons 14 are of elliptical shape and the frame12"correspondingly shaped. A further distinction comprises thearrangement of thecover 17, which is equipped with soft material 20 orother similar packing material adapted to engage against the upper endof the spout 11 so as to tightly hold the spout closed under thepressure of a spring 21 coaxially arranged upon the pivot 22 holding'thecover 17 pivotally. v

More particularly the pivot 22 works between a pair of lugs 23projecting from the sides of 1'7 is provided with a rear projection 24by which it may be manually tilted to force it into the open position.This particular type of cover is adapted for bottles containing liquidwith gases to prevent the free escape of such gases.

In Figs.'6-9 inclusive, another modification of the invention has beendisclosed in which the liquid pourer comprises a large tube 25 extendingthrough the bottle stopper 26. A partition 27 extends completely throughthe large tube 25 dividing it into two longitudinal passages, The sideof the tube 25 is formed with several apertures 28 for the passage ofthe liquid into one of said passages. This tube 25 extends materiallybelow the bottom of the stopper 26 so as to extend above the liquidlevel in a bottle. Thus the air may pass inwards from the atmospherethrough one passage while the liquid may enter the openings 28 and passoutwards through the other passage. A pin 29 projects from one side ofthe upper end of the tube 25 and constitutes a rest whereby the liquidpourer may be rested against the edge of a glass or other receptacle forthe purposeof steadying the pourer during the pouring operation.

Still further the liquid pourer is provided with a frame 30 attachedupon one side of the top portion of the tube 25. This frame is providedwith an internal peripheral groove 31. A support plate 32 is arrangedwithin this groove. This support plate comprises a pair of sections inedge alignment with each other and hingedly connected by pins 33 at thecontacting edges. The sections comprising the support plate 32 are inthe same plane, this corresponding with the extended position of theplate, and the plate is then main tained within the groove. The mountingof buttons 14 upon the sides of the support plate 32 hold the supportplate 32 in the latter mentioned condition, (the extended position). Thesupport plate is provided with a central opening 18 for the coactingelements of the buttons to pass. A feature of this arrangement lies inthe fact that upon removal of the buttons 14, the support plate 32 maybe bent and removed and then the frame 30 may be used as a ring orhandle through which the finger may be engaged for supporting the deviceor for other purposes.

In Figs. 10 and 12 inclusive another modified form of the invention hasbeen disclosed which is substantially identical to the form shown in'Figs. 6-9 inclusive except for the provision of the frame which supportsthe advertising buttons. The corresponding parts may be recognized bythe same reference numerals. Attention is called to the fact that aheaded element 29' isprovided as constituting the stop for resting thestopper upon the edge of a glass or other element.

In Figs. 13-15 inclusive another arrangement of the invention has beendisclosed which is very similar to the form illustrated in Figs. 1-4inclusive except for the construction of the frame which holds theadvertising buttons. More particularly a tube 12' extends through thestopper 10 and runs along the side of the spout 11 the entire distance.A branch tube 12 is arranged upon the side of the tube 12' andconstitutes the frame for supporting the plate 13 which in turn supportsthe buttons 14. The feature of this arrangement lies in the fact thatthe air has a double passage a part of the way from the atmosphere intothe bottle. That is, it may pass eitherv completely along the entirelength of the tube 12' or may shunt a portion of the tube 12 by passingthrough the tube 12 instead.

While we have shown and described the preferred embodiment of ourunderstood that we do not limit ourselves to the precise constructionherein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes andmodifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in theappended claims.

' Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desireto secure by United States Letters Patent is:- v
